Screencap turns macOS workflows into AI datasets

Screencap is an open-source macOS application designed to record real-world workflow interactions—including screen activity, mouse clicks, keystrokes, and window context—to create structured datasets for AI training and workflow automation. Built with a focus on privacy and consent, the tool automatically blocks sensitive applications before writing data to disk and scrubs recorded traces prior to leaving the machine.

// ANALYSIS

Capturing rich human interaction data on desktop systems is becoming the core bottleneck for training computer-use AI agents, and Screencap provides an essential privacy-first capture layer.

–Real-time privacy enforcement blocks sensitive apps and scrubs traces locally before data export.
–Multimodal data recording combines raw video with click coordinates, keystrokes, and window context.
–Open-source macOS architecture builds trust and enables custom data sanitization pipelines for enterprises.
